Open Daily (sunrise to sunset), through Feb 2017

Waller Delta

The outdoor, interactive art installation Hurlyburly, by internationally renowned artist Orly Genger, is open daily at the Waller Delta, adjacent to the Waller Creek Boathouse (74 Trinity). Created using repurposed lobster rope, Hurlyburly is a massive outdoor piece of painted and hand-knotted rope.

Audiences of all ages are invited to come watch dancers at Panorama Playground, a unique performance that combines public art, dance, and music. We sat down with Dance Waterloo's Artistic Director, Morgan Teel, to find out more about Dance Waterloo and how they are transforming dance in Austin.

Waller Creek has held many different significations over the years, from the natural border of the city to a turbulent source of flooding, but for the third year, the creek has been transformed into something entirely new: a canvas. For Creek Show 2016, five teams of local architects and artists reimagine the urban waterway as a gallery for sculptures of long-extinct reptiles and LED cloud formations.

Waller Creek is a thin, urban riparian ecosystem that meanders from the northern part of Austin southward through UT campus and along the eastern edge of the downtown area before it meets Lady Bird Lake. The Waller Creek Conservancy, in a unique public-private partnership with the City of Austin, acts as the steward of Waller Creek by playing a vital role in the preservation, redevelopment and maintenance of the creek’s surrounding parks, nearby businesses, adjoining neighborhoods and community at large.
